Leonie Benesch follows her breakout role in The Teachers' Lounge with another portrayal of a stressed public servant in writer/director Petra Volpe's Late Shift. Benesch plays Floria, a nurse in an understaffed Swiss hospital who finds herself working an increasingly tense late shift that sees her make a grave error.
Late Shift is in UK/ROI cinemas from August 1st.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Nurse Floria works with passion and professionalism in the surgical ward of a Swiss hospital. Her every move is precise. She has an open ear for patients, even in the most stressful situations, and is immediately on hand in an emergency – ideally. But in the harsh reality of her daily routine, things are often unpredictable. When she starts her late shift one day, a colleague is absent from the fully occupied, understaffed ward. Amidst the hustle and pressure, Floria looks after a seriously ill young mother and an elderly man desperately waiting for his diagnosis - with the same care and diligence as a private patient. But as the night progresses, her work becomes an ever more urgent race against time.
